It's not bad, but if your child has dysgraphia or any learning disability around writing, all of a sudden, every part of the curriculum is cut off for them. Common Core makes no allowances for those with disabilities.

That's what the term "standard" means.  The Common Core State Standards are what every child should be able to do by the end of the year.

Yes, if your child has a learning disability, then he or she very likely will have trouble reaching that standard.  That's pretty much the definition of the term "learning disability".   If the dysgraphia is severe, he or she should qualify for an IEP or 504 plan and should be able to get osme accommodations on the PARCC end of year tests; however, bottom line if the IEP should have a plan to give your child extra help and different instruction with the goal of having your child MEET the standard within a certain number of years.

The goal is to have children catch up to the standard, through individual  intensive instruction if need be.   Not to pretend there isn't a standard, and never have some children learn to read and write properly.[/quote]
